In the 25th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Shenhua beat Zhejiang by a score of 4-3 in a thrilling away match. After the match, a player full of emotions and stories - Shenhua goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong, through microblogging published a touching speech, sharing his inexorable relationship with Huanglong Stadium as well as his love and dream for soccer.
Bao Yaxiong, a native of Hangzhou, has never had the opportunity to play for the first team of Zhejiang, although he came from the youth training system of Hangzhou Greentown. However, this has not weakened his love for soccer and his deep affection for this land. When he visited Huanglong Stadium as a Shenhua player, what surged in his heart was not only the tension and excitement of the game, but also a kind of unspeakable affection and emotion.
"Back here for the first time since playing professionally, very exuberant!" Bao Yaxiong wrote on microblogging. This exuberance stems from the infinite love of soccer, but also from the deep attachment to the sacred land of Huanglong Stadium. He recalled his youthful time when he was just 12 years old when soccer started, when he ran as a ball boy in this field, witnessed the glorious moment of Greentown's AFC Champions League, and even had the honor of witnessing the elegance of Beckham and other world-class football stars. At that time, he planted a seed of dream in his heart - one day, he could also stand on this field and become the center of attention.
Nowadays, this dream has been realized in another way, but Bao Yaxiong's original heart and love for soccer has never changed. He saw that Greentown (now Zhejiang team) will return to Huanglong Stadium to continue to fight the AFC Champions League, his heart is full of joy and expectation. He knows that this is not only a kind of affirmation of the team's strength, but also a kind of inheritance and promotion of Hangzhou's soccer culture. Therefore, he wishes the Zhejiang team to achieve better results in the coming matches, and to set up a goal and example for more Hangzhou children who love soccer as much as he does.
Finally, Bao Yaxiong expressed his wish with a short but powerful sentence: "Cheer together in the future, getting better and better!" This is not only an encouragement to the Zhejiang team, but also an expectation for himself and all the dream-chasing soccer boys. He believes that as long as there is a dream in your heart and strength in your feet, you will be able to write your own brilliant chapter on the green field.
